don't buy fish food from Poundland. A friend stayed over and bought us some more food while we were out but killed one of the fish. The label said to take out any uneaten food after an hour because it will become poisonous. What the hell kind of food is that?

so let me know if you find out.
I used to keep two really cool goldfish a long long time ago called Jemima and Houdini... Houdini kept jumping out of the bowl... hence his name... he was apparently trying to jump to 'new ponds'... as the bowl he was kept in wasn't 100% clean (when purchased). I found this out the hard way after midnight calls to animal vets etc.

My gold fish lived for about 3 years. A long time in Fish Life. I left them with my old housemate when I moved over here and they died a week later. I sometimes wonder if they missed me so much? Ha. They had survived many house moves, house parties, and generally rooms full of smoke and all sorts.
